Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding the organization of the laboratory.
We are in a several ISO & other certificates certified company with a QMS responsible for these certifications. Currently we are working on ISO17025 accreditation of our lab. There was one person in QMS that was assigned this task to prepare for it with the laboratory team. That person claimed that according to the ISO17025 requirements, the whole lab organization has to be separated from their current organizational position, including themselves (the QMS person). and they worked on that with HR and successfully separated the organization. Now this person left the company, after almost finalizing all requirements with lab team, and their roles were divided to several persons, and the QMS part was assigned to the other QMS responsible. but we're wondering, if we left the organization of the lab separated from the factory organization, but the general QMS responsible takes on also this role, will that affect the accreditation?
for more clarification, the organization looks like this now:
CEO>General factory manager> Lab manager
CEO> Quality manager > QMS
old organization was
CEO>General factory manager> lab team within R&D organization
